Teething terror

So poor Zanthias is teething. We had thought he might be for a while, with all the drool, and loving to chew on fingers, etc. etc. but there were no sign of any teeth. After a day and night from hell yesterday (he also got vaccines Friday, so I'm sure some of it was because of that), today there are 2 little bumps where his incisors (top) are trying to come through. It's strange because everything I read said different teeth usually come in first. The Hyland's teething tablets are really helping (we think, it's a crapshoot), and we have a Sophie the giraffe on the way (Thanks Pinky!). It's been hell, truly, the worst times of his whole life, and frustrating for us. Let's just hope they come through soon. The longer they take, the worse it is for the poor guy.



Look away if you don't want to see a hairy chest!

What a big boy!

Uncle Jeremy sent the cute treehouse outfit. Zanthias knows, too, look at the gun he's making with his hand! (Jeremy is a police officer) It's an 18-24 month shirt and it's just too long. The pants are 12-18 months and a little long. He is so huge! The Mommy's little monster shirt is a 9 month, and it fits perfectly. Keep that in mind, we've noticed that Carter's brand tends to run a bit small. The last picture is him in my favorite diaper-it's VW vans print!

Vaccination day

So today was vaccination day. Zanthias didn't like his shot, and didn't want to swallow the oral one. The oral one was rotavirus, and I think he's already had the side effect of it-he blew out of a diaper today. He's been a little fussy too. He made a 5 year old in the waiting room laugh when he pooped his pants. After that, we changed him and weighed him. 19 lbs exactly! What an enormous kid! He's also starting to enjoy bathtime a little more as you can see.

3 months

3 months already! We've got a vaccine to get on the 9th, and we'll see what he weighs then.

Family tree

We're filling out a small family tree in Zanthias' baby book. We need some info from you guys because our memories are not so good!
We need help with the great-great grandparents from Brian, Tami, and Wilbur. We also need his great-grandparents names from Deborah.
Thanks everyone!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to everyone! Zanthias (surprise, surprise) was awake to watch the ball drop! He didn't seem too excited about it though...
